What the title says pretty much describes this topic. I do write poems, but they're free-style [no rhymes; it's too hard XD] and not all that good. But I'd love it if you could read them over anyways :D
I only have two at the moment, and I whipped them up fairly quickly [the second was a spur of a moment thing].
This first one is based off one of my character's lives. His mind's been filled with lies and pain throughout pretty much every aspect of his life. He ran away, trying to get rid of everything from his past, but he swears that he'll return. This is a pretty quick ''poem'' about it:
Lies
I remember what it was like
When I was with others
When they were incharge of my fate.
I was broken and bruised,
Hurt, neglected and forgotton,
Among that power hungry pack,
Who strived on other’s weakness to survive.
The weakness of one,
The weakness of me.
I’ll never forget them
Never
I know I won’t.
They have burned my head with lies
About family and the truest friends
How they would never leave you when you’re in pain.
But now I know
Those were only
Lies.
They did me no good
Not now, not then
If they did, I wouldn’t be alone
Left to wander through this dark, rejecting path
That life takes you on.
But alas. I will return.
I can tell you that.
I’ll return and show them truth.
And show them justice.
I hope to forgive them, and tell them the stories
Of my dark troubles.
And I will make sure
That my for all generations,
They will hear what’s real
And won’t hear
What is fake.
And I know
That they will hear from me
Everything but
Lies.

This next one's pretty much based on a true story of my life XD It happened through the course of Grade 7 [aka last school year]. It was a pretty painful time for me, and this little verse helped me get the last of the pain from a previous wound in my heart, but it's still there as a scar. It's basically about my best friend leaving me to two other girls. It really hurt, but we're now just ''friendly acquaintances''. 'Cept she's changed a lot. So we're not interested in a lot of the same things anymore.
Here's the poem [it doesn't have a title]:
I didn’t know this would put me through so much pain
I didn’t know that this is what you wanted.
I thought we said we would be best friends forever
But ‘forever’ is such a big word…
Now everything’s changed…
Everything’s different…
Nothing’s the same.
I wish you had stuck by my side
I wish you hadn’t left me here alone
And now, I wonder…
What would it be like if we were still as close as we had always been?
Would the world be different?
Or would it have stayed the same as it is now?
Would it have affected my life even more than what had happened did?
Or if your leaving me was slower,
Do you think it would have given me less of an impact?
Either way, what’s done is done.
What has happened cannot be changed.
There’s no way to change the past
And it’s probably best that you can’t.
But if it was possible to reverse one thing…
I would somehow get the title of “best” back to you.
I would make you the same as you were before you left us.
I would make you the same as you were before you pretty much ditched me completely.
So you would still be my best friend.
And I would still be yours…

That's all I have for now. I have more stored away somewhere, but I can't really find them. Hope you've enjoyed what there is ;]
